RMKS/1. TO SUPPORT THE DYNAMIC MANNING REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLEET
RESPONSE PLAN AND TO MORE EFFECTIVELY MANAGE PCS FUNDS, DETAILERS
WILL NOW BE APPLYING BROADER PRD WINDOWS FOR THE PCS MOVES OF
ENLISTED PERSONNEL. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MOVE SAILORS WITHIN
THE PROJECTED ROTATION MONTH, THEY WILL CONSIDER CUTTING ORDERS
ANYWHERE FROM THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO FOUR MONTHS AFTER AN
INDIVIDUAL'S PRD.
2. THE USE OF EXPANDED PRD WINDOWS -- WHICH HAS BEEN POLICY FOR
MORE THAN A DECADE (SEE MILPERSMAN 1306-104) -- WILL:
A. PROVIDE NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND, IN COORDINATION WITH
COMMANDERS, THE FLEXIBILITY TO ADJUST SAILORS' ROTATION DATES
WITHIN A WINDOW TO MEET OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLEET
READINESS PROGRAM (FRP).
B. PROVIDE GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR QUALIFIED CONTACT RELIEFS
FOR OPERATING FORCES AND OTHER CRITICAL BILLETS.
C. PROVIDE GREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR SAILORS TO SELECT A WIDER
VARIETY OF POSITIONS IN JASS THAN USING A FIXED SINGLE MONTH
ROTATION DATE.
D. PROVIDE GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR SAILORS TO SELECT JOBS THAT
ARE NO COST MOVES WITHIN FLEET CONCENTRATION AREAS, THEREBY
INCREASING FAMILY STABILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE/SERVICE.
E. PROVIDE GREATER NUMBER OF CANDIDATES FOR FILLING OPERATIONAL
AND OTHER CRITICAL BILLETS.
4. DETAILERS AND PLACEMENT OFFICERS WILL WORK WITH COMMANDS AND
INDIVIDUAL SAILORS TO IDENTIFY THE MONTH WITHIN THE DETAILING WINDOW
THAT AN INDIVIDUAL MAY EXPECT TO TRANSFER. INDIVIDUALS ON MANDATORY
DOD OVERSEAS TOURS WILL NOT BE EXTENDED BEYOND THE PRESCRIBED TOUR
LENGTH.
